“Today we’re are no longer silent, Netanyahu continues. Today we have a voice. And tomorrow, as prime minister of the one and only Jewish state, I plan to use that voice.”
Iran “is threatening to destroy Israel, is devouring country after country in the Middle East… and is developing, as we speak,” the capability to build nuclear weapons, he says.
Disagreements among allies “are only natural,” because there are differences between US and Israel, he says. The US is large, while Israel is small; US lives in “one of the safest neighborhood”; US is strong, Israel is strong but vulnerable; US is concerned about security, Israel about survival, Netanyahu says.
He says that in the 9 years he was prime minister, there wasn’t one day he hasn’t thought about Israel’s survival. “Not one day.”
He says because of differences between US, Israel, there are disagreements.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
